not long ago I learned from other players that you can pray at the moment when the monsters attack to reduce the prayer points used. I tried it out at the iron dragons and used only like 2 prayer pots(4) while killed 20+ of them. Is there any thread discussing this tactic deeper and are there any potential problems with it?

 

 

 

P.S. can anyone tell me why aviansies are good money...? I often hear people saying they're going for aviansies and still have no idea why these will do good...

Don't know of any thread discussing the tactic but aviansies drop 4 noted addy bars very regularly and are often killed to train range while making a good profit.

This technique is known as "prayer flashing".

It worked very well a while ago.Now it still works but the prayer is reduced faster now when pray-flicking.

One rule of thumb I always use for prayer flashing is that it's like 2-3 seconds after the monsters hit, that you can turn prayer off. (I don't know if different monsters have different rates of attack?)

And yeah, it really does help make your prayer last longer, I use it every time in slayer if I run out of food, to try and extend my trip XD
